Does Boots do passport photos? Price and digital code

Does Boots do passport photos?

Some Boots stores do, through a passport photo booth in the store, but not all of them. Boots doesn't publish a passport photo price online. Its store pages show which stores have a booth: the Boots store page, Croydon Whitgift Centre lists a "Passport Instant Photo Booth", while the Boots store page, Woodbridge lists passport services and an instant print kiosk but no booth. Check your store's page before you go.

If you make your photo at home, Picproved can save a 6×4 inch print sheet. Boots' Boots Photo: Instant print kiosks print from your phone, so you can print the sheet there for a paper form.

Or make it at home. Picproved costs £5.99 (free while we launch) for one person's photo in every size you need, and it checks the size, background, head size and face rules before you save. The office still makes the final decision. Make your United Kingdom Passport (online) photo

For a UK passport online you can take the photo yourself: GOV.UK accepts a digital photo you or someone else takes, as long as it meets the rules (GOV.UK: Get a passport photo). For a paper form you need two printed photos (GOV.UK: Rules for printed photos). See Passport photo code UK: do you need one?

Questions

Does Boots do passport photos?
Some Boots stores do, through a passport photo booth in the store, but not all of them. Boots doesn't publish a passport photo price online.

Does Boots give a digital code for the UK passport?
Only stores with a passport photo booth can, and Boots doesn't publish the details online. Ask your store, or take the photo yourself and upload the file.
Can I take my own UK passport photo instead of going to Boots?
Yes, for an online application. GOV.UK lets you take a digital photo yourself or ask someone to take it, as long as it follows the photo rules. For a paper form you need printed photos, and GOV.UK says photos printed at home are unlikely to be good enough, so print at a photo kiosk or shop.
What is a digital photo code?
A code that a booth or shop gives you with your photos. You type it into the GOV.UK online application and your photo is added to it. If you take the photo on your own device during the application instead, you don't need a code.
